With the development of power electronic technology, flexible DC distribution system has gradually become a research hotspot.Pole-to-pole short circuit fault is the most serious fault type in DC distribution system.When pole-to-pole short circuit fault occurs in DC side, it will produce a large fault la rams crop top current, which will cause serious harm to DC distribution system.Therefore, it is urgent to install current limiting reactor to limit fault over-current.
Aiming at the DC distribution system based on half bridge MMC, this paper analyses the fault mechanism and fault characteristics of pole-to-pole bostik universal primer pro short circuit fault, studies the current limiting effect of the installation position and capacity of current limiting reactor on fault current, and carries out simulation verification in PSCAD / EMTDC platform.The analysis and simulation results show that installing a current limiting reactor at the outlet of the DC side can reduce the peak value of capacitor discharge current, and installing a current limiting reactor at the outlet of the AC side can reduce the overall amplitude of fault current.
